It was one of the ten regional commands, which, with the Walvis Bay Military Area, made up the Territorial Force. HistoryOriginBased in Johannesburg, it was responsible for the security of the region, forming the primary level of command for military operations in support of the Police. It also provided logistic, administrative and service support to units and formations operating in its area of responsibility.[2][3] When 6th Light Anti-Aircraft Regiment SAA became operational in 1966 with its headquarters at Brakpan, it was originally administratively responsible to Headquarters Witwatersrand Command, but was later transferred to I South African Corps. In 1987, the command headquarters installation was the target of a bomb by Umkhonto we Sizwe operative, Hein Grosskopf.[4] Amalgamation with Northern Transvaal Command into Gauteng CommandGroups and Commando UnitsGroup 16 (Marievale)
